POLICE ARE TERRORISTS!!! Oh boy, Oh boy...Please Enjoy!!!

Our job is the safety of the public and ourselves, NOT to give murderer's on the run who may have a gun ANYTHING they want. I don't care how simple
his demands are in a situation like this. We have to end it as fast as we can so the ONLY people in harms way are us and the suspect.

Plus if he was hell bent on dying who is to say by bringing his girl out for him to see (as he requested) that he wouldnt shoot her before we shot
him? Sounds crazy right...HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!!

I don't believe all cops are terrorists, they can't all possibly be. However, I have had plenty of dealings with them in several states and must
say, I've met some really crappy people. I know cops are people too, but some of them are just plain psychotic, liars, or scared, while others are
completely apothetic and don't care. Perhaps better psych evals and training is the answer, I don't know. Finally, I would say some do fit the
definition.

Well they should have let him talk to her i believe he would have gave up then it seemed to be shady to me, and they knew where she was the whole time
in the cop car!

I call BS. He wanted to "see" her so he could drag her into it too. He knew DAMN well he was not getting out of there a free man, but a pregnant
body sure as hell makes a good shield for "negotiating". "Where's ma bitch" , yeah- I'm sure he really wanted to declare his love for her before
going back to jail. Oh that's right, he refused to go back to jail- stated more than once that he was planning on dying right there and taking as
many cops out with him.

Which i see them guilty of a crime force when it did not have to happen, so i fully disagree with you agreeing with that.

TRUST ME when I tell you, the OVERWHELMING majority or cops and soldiers WILL NEVER turn on their own family and friends. MANY of us, including
myself, will hand in my badge and my sidearm if ever asked to do so in that aspect.

I have never understood how people could believe in a "police state" to the extent they do. I think they think of the cops and military personnel as
robots of the government with no human emotion or any ties to human life.

Who is policing this police state ?
Your Brothers, sisters, fathers, friends ?

That first segment is heavy stuff...
I feel for the guy, but he wasn't give the police much to work with. He already said he was on the run for murder, so they are forced to think that
he will use the gun that he is hiding. Plus he told them that he would use it if they tried to arrest him.

Two lives were lost in that situation that didn't need to be lost. Why did he have to be so stupid? Sure, he was going away for life, but he would
have been able to see his girl and baby; he would have been able to work within the system, live his life. Yeah, it is behind bars, but he would be
breathing right now, and that dog would be too if he wasn't so foolish.

It is saddening, and there is still 40 minutes left in this documentary.

The officers were not terrorists in this situation. They were not abusing their power and they did what they had to do to go home that night. The guy
just chose the wrong way to end it.

Money.

Who is policing it in China? Who polices it in North Korea?

Most cops are lying when they say they wouldnt be a part of it. History has proven them wrong. The present is proving them wrong. It might make them
feel all nice to say it but when the check stops coming they are hurting their family. One or 2 of every thousand might walk away.

Wow..if that isn't the most bias ratio I have ever seen typed on an ATS thread. My department has just over 500 deputies and NONE of them would turn
on their family and friends for ANY amount of money. Would you shoot your mom, lock up your mom, hold your mom at gun point for $$$$$$$$$$$? NO,
good, cause neither will we...

Of course you wouldnt shoot your relatives youd just be more crooked than usual and turn a blind eye.

It's happening all around the world right now. It's happened all over in the past. Your little theories are not matching up with empirical evidence.

You wanna back up that "empirical evidence" with proof, or just be a biased donkey for the hell of it? People are good and bad, no matter what job
they hold.

I happen to be a niece of Trooper Higbee, and watching what he just went through, hearing what people who are simply biased against police full stop
had to say about a man, who is just plain GOOD, was revolting.

And yeah, I've been arrested. A few times. Even had a cop leave me and a 6 month old on the side of a bridge in December with nothing but a car seat
because they towed my car for expired plates - so trust me, I know they're not all gonna be your best friends. But they do their job.

Caslling all cops crooked is exactly like calling all Muslims terrorists. Which is all just racism. Glad to know the bigots are out in force here!

How does it prove you right of anything? You and only you are saying that YOU are right. Just because YOU say that it proves your point, doesn't make
it so. If you want to talk proof, show the proof. If you want to talk evidence of police state, show it, and while your at it, look at your sources.
Count them up, then estimate how insignificant those numbers are compared to the rest of the country of the United States.

I am sorry to say that you are not right, and this does nothing to prove anything but that you are wrong.

When I called all cops terrorists and then explained it not one person stepped forward offering an opposing view.

Why would anyone waste their time responding to such an assinine claim? And you keep bringing up other nations. Sure other nations had plenty of
issues, my argument is HERE AND NOW in MY nation...the UNITED STATES!
